    Just put this on my DA-28 Striker Optimus earlier today. Oh man, what an upgrade! Loving how he looks and really gives Prime a wicked silhouette on top of my main display cabinet. Such a shelf presence opposite Buster Prime with the FWI-3 Jetfire upgrade set!

    He stands with no real issues. The jetpack is still fairly sizable and back-heavy so you'll need to take care to pose the legs with the feet completely flat on the ground so he won't fall over backwards but other than that, OP is good to go. The foot add-ons attach pretty securely on the back of the heels and I have no fear that they'll dislodge themselves when posing.

    Hey mates, newbie here. I am from Malaysia. I would like to ask a question about the QC issue on FWI-4. Is that any QC issue on the small wing, on the right? I just have my MISB FWI-4 add on. The problem is the right small wing is kind of loose. Any suggestion? Many thx.

    So I finally got mine late last week and it's quite an impressive display piece! It feels a little light/thin but if you own or handled the FWI-3 kit, this should be no surprise to you. Although, the pieces look like they'd be thicker it's still quite light. The overall detail on the kit is incredible though. If you're fan or screen-accurate add-ons for ROTF Optimus, FWI is knocking it out of the park. I'll probably have to get a KO Striker since the dark greys go better with that mold :eek:

    Finally got mine.. wow they're nice!! Packaging, everything is extremely good.

    The con:

    - the gun nozzles are a bit loose
    - the small wings are a bit loose as others have noted

    But man, these are damn nice!

    Got mine. This is beautiful! Maybe not quite as good as FWI-3, but well worth the money!
